So imagine this. In my belleh. All over my clothes and hands. Creamy white cheese sauce dripping down my face and I look like a toddler trying to eat and missing my mouth but I just don’t care because it’s so damn delicious and I want to swim in it. The cheese, you guys!!
The other day I mentioned my excitement over having bought a new white baking dish. I didn’t mention that the #1 reason I’ve bought four new baking dishes in the last two weeks is so I can get the perfect baked pasta shot. Actually, I only ordered two initially but was smart enough to leave them at my parent’s house on accident during a weekend trip home. Going off me resembling a toddler, I also have zero patience and I just couldnotwait for them to come up to visit me in a week. How could I when supah cheesy baked pasta was calling my name?
Look at it. Just look at it. You have so much good stuff packed in one pan. So here we go, I’ll tell you guys the game plan. Everyone huddle up! So first, we’re going to take a pile of cheese and melt it till it’s all gooey-like in a ridiculously easy garlic-y homemade sauce. Then, we’re going to use that mouthwatering sauce to smother juicy chicken and vibrant broccoli. Pour it aaallll into that pretty new baking dish of ours and go crazy with fresh parmesan on top because really, why not. Now stick that beautiful mess into the oven and pace back and forth restlessly as everything melds gloriously together. Try your best not to let the delicious smells tempt you into reaching in and grabbing a piece to sample. You’ll burn yourself. Don’t ask me how I know this. When that timer goes off, have a quick dance party to celebrate and dish yourself up a big lo’ plate. Devour it. Then get seconds.
Ready? HIKE!
Aside from this dish sounding delicious, I am in love w/ your white dishes as well! They really do work perfect in photos. I want some!!
Your white dishes look faaaaabulous as does this recipe. They really do photograph well… I usually buy the props and then think of recipes that could go along with them when I’m pretty sure it should be the other way around..
I love how gooey and cheesy this looks! So delicious!
This recipe looks fabulous! I also love your white baking dishes, they are super gorgeous and make everything look better.
Oh my…this looks so yummy! I love this one dish kind of meals! All we’d need is some crusty bread on the side and then we’re good to go! Looks amazing!
So, see, here’s the thing. I love all your foodie recipes and all your adorable pictures that make me secretly hate you because you get to eat all the foods you make. But then there’s this other part of your posts that are the best – the way you describe the dish, whether it’s comparing yourself to a toddler or talking about how oatmeal blueberry pie can make you faint…. haha I LOVE IT!!!!!
OMG I knew it… I shouldn’t have clicked until I was very well fed. This looks amazing, girl! And I’m pretty sure that I’d be right there with you with sporting the toddler look while eating this. Love the dish, love the pics, and love the CHEESE!
Girl, you can stop studying microbio because this cooking thing is your calling!
Aside from a bomb looking recipe, your photography of your dishes is great!! And now I’m hungry again haha
Ahhh, this post is wonderful. Everything from the impatience about the baking dish (so been there) to the lovely description of pacing back and forth while the amazingness melds together… I totally feel ya on all of this. There are times when I miss cheese very, very much, and this… this is definitely one of those times!!
This looks seriously delicious! I’m in love with that dish too.. It’s always fun to find cute new dishes.
Neeeeed! Gah, all of my favorites in here. Pasta… broccoli… cheeese…. I bet tofu would work too! I might have to try that
Like I mentioned in the last post, I love me some cheese.. and broccoli.. and chicken. You’re so creative, I swear. Please sprinkle some of your creativity onto me!
This dish reminds me of my mom’s famous broccoli casserole. I may have drooled on my keyboard. And by “may”, I of course mean that I definitely did. Beautiful photos as always!
This looks delicious, not to mention simple to make. Going to have to give it a go. You definitely can’t go wrong when there’s that much cheese involved. Great blog and photos by the way!
This looks so good! I can’t wait to try it! I found this on the SITS girls facebook link up and can’t wait to try some of your other recipes!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Looks delicious – this would make a great weeknight dinner! (The fact that it doesn’t load up on fattening ingredients is a plus too!)
I really like it when folks come together and share ideas.
Great website, keep it up!
This recipe came in handy last night when my boyfriend and I were snowed in and we we had all the ingredients except for the Italian cheese blend, which I substituted shredded mozzarella. It was delicious! Thank you for sharing! ☺️
Glad it was able to help save the day haha! I hope you guys get out soon. I live on the coast of California, so we don’t get much snow around here ;).
